Since my sister has been moved here from Delaware Oaks she is a new person. She is under Hospice care and everyone involved with her is wonderful. Her aide is tremendous. She braids her hair, makes she is clean and dressed nice. She even brings her Tim Hortons coffee. The staff are all kind and welcoming.

My mother was recent in post acute rehab at Garden Gate. All of the staff, from aides, to nursing to physical therapy, were so kind to her. They were all very responsive to her needs and made sure that she was comfortable during the time she spent there. These situations are never easy but my family’s experience at Garden Gate was truly a positive one!

The last five months of my 91 year old father’s precious life were lived and celebrated at Garden Gate. Getting older is tough physically, mentally and spiritually for everyone involved. It is not for the faint of heart! The nurses and staff are warriors for the people in their care! My family and I always had peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of by dedicated loving staff! Is it perfect? No, nothing is but they come close! We were so blessed to have Rachel and her coworkers! God bless them all!

Garden Gate has been a wonderful place to be during my rehab for my hip I had replaced. The staff is caring and professional in all they do. Prompt on answering lights when you need help. The food is really good flavorful and portions are plenty. Therapists really work in getting strong for home life again. So if you are in need of a nice rehab to stay on your journey from surgery give this place a whirl!

My Dad was at Garden Gate for a few months until his recent passing. The staff were very attentive to his needs. I’m sure it was challenging at times to provide him care. Not once did I witness staff to be anything but patient and compassionate. The communication with staff when we had questions or concerns was done in a very timely manner. The last time that I visited my Dad he wanted to go for a tour around the building in his wheelchair. Everyone we ran into along the way said hello to him by name. It was comforting to know he wasn’t just a number. Thank you Garden Gate❤️
